Horse Name | Jockey | Gear | Comment |
1 | 1 | VOYAGE BUBBLE (E436) | J McDonald | CP | Away well, up with early pace before settling down behind leaders, cruised to the lead early straight then kicked clear, continued on well final 200M for an authoritative win. |
2 | 5 | GALAXY PATCH (H399) | B Shinn | -- | Jumped only fairly, reserved at the back 5Ls off leader, held up briefly top of the straight before closing off well to go 2nd near 120M. Not reach runaway winner. |
3 | 7 | RED LION (H115) | H Bowman | -- | Settled down mid-division 3Ls off the pace, closed off steadily over final 400M. No threat to the runaway winner. |
4 | 4 | BEAUTY JOY (E058) | K C Leung | TT | Taken back after the start, raced ungenerously early stages, swung wide for home before staying on mildly for non-threatening 4th. |
5 | 3 | BEAUTY ETERNAL (H008) | Z Purton | E | Pressed forward, settled outside the leader, soon outsprinted by winner on straightening, held 2nd to 150M, lost several places close home. |
6 | 6 | CHANCHENG GLORY (H212) | C Y Ho | B/XB | Bustled along to maintain a position in midfield, tried hard on straightening but lacked a big enough kick, faded late stages. |
7 | 8 | PATCH OF THETA (H485) | K Teetan | XB | From draw 1 stayed close enough to leaders, raced keenly in the middle stages, in 3rd place passing 300M, outstayed by rivals final stages. |
8 | 2 | CALIFORNIA SPANGLE (E314) | B Avdulla | TT | Quickly took up the lead, led fast first half of the race, soon headed on straightening, dropped away rapidly. (Jockey : his mount failed to respond to his riding in the Home Straight and raced in a disappointing manner.) |
